SPRINGFIELD, Mo.- Springfield Police are investigating the shooting death of a juvenile Tuesday as an accident. While the investigation is ongoing, area gun experts urge families to have conversations about gun safety.
If guns are in your home, experts say there are things to remember.
“If you have a gun and you’re home alone, and if it’s for protection or defense of your house, then you want it to be readily accessible and easy to use,” said Cherokee Firearms Owner Nick Newman.
